There's nothing wrong with using your HU to power rear fill. The imaging comes from the front stage, rear fill should just be a nice punch of midbass, so an amp isn't necessary. Plus a 2-channel amp will be cheaper.

i concur.i know that for components its best to amp them correct?the deck doesnt throw out 45x4 rms does it?or whatever his deck says..that 45x4 isnt rms correct?and wouldnt an amp give him more or a reliable source of power and cleaner and more tunable(if thats the correct word...if that is a word)source?i know 2 channel is cheaper...but depends on what he wants to spend..theres lotta good cheap amps out there..profile for example..**** cheap..good too
